Composite Architectural Panels
[0029]Referring to FIGS. 1-3, in an embodiment the architectural panel 10 consists of a composite constructed from 4 different materials which are layered. The top layer 1 is a rectangular, veneer of flooring surface of approximately 2.5 mm thickness. The second layer, is a mesh 2 of approximately 0.3 mm in thickness which is attached to the top layer 1 with an adhesive (not shown) to reinforce the top layer 1 and provide protection against shattering. The third layer, a resilient sheet 3, comprises a resilient backer board about 4 mm thick such an Ecoboard or a cement board, which is attached to the second layer 2 with an adhesive (not shown). The fourth layer which comprises a rigid plastic layer 4 with a unique tongue 12 and groove 11 joint structure is attached to the third layer with adhesive.
[0030]In a preferred embodiment the top layer 1 is a natural material such as stone, cork or wood. In a most preferred embodiment the material is marble. In a...
example 2
[0035]Referring to FIGS. 1-4 the stone floor material according to the invention includes all-in-one plate body 10. The plate body 10 is made up of four-layered structure, and the top layer is a marble 1, and the second layer is a metal mesh 2. The metal mesh 2 can be an aluminum mesh, a steel mesh, a stainless steel mesh and so on, and the third layer is a cement plate 3, which is preferably selected from Cellulose Reinforced Cement (“CRC”) and ECOBOARD (ECOBOARD is a multidirectional fiber board made from agricultural byproducts instead of wood and the fourth layer is a base plate 4 of made of plastic selected from plastics such as ABS (acrylonitrile, butadiene styrene), HIPS (high impact polystyrene sheet), PP (polypropylene) or other suitable polymers known in the art.
[0036]The composite plate body is formed by bonding the four layers with a. suitable bonding agent. Along two adjacent edges, the plastic layer 4 has a plurality of rectangular tongues 12, that protrudes beyond the...

Heated Composite Flooring
[0038]The architectural panels of Example 1 can readily be heated by incorporating a heating element within the composite layers.
[0039]Referring to FIGS. 7a and 7b and 7c and 7d, heated floor tiles can be constructed by creating a groove 15 in the bottom of resilient layer 3 and placing a resistance heating element 16 into the groove 15 prior to bonding plastic base 4. A connector 17 is provided for attaching adjacent tiles together and to a source of electricity. The connectors may be male and female connectors or any connector design which allows adequate electrical contact. Optionally, any gaps where the connector exits the floor tile can be filed with a plug 32. The heat output from the floor can be controlled with a thermostatic controller which either senses room or floor temperature.
[0040]The groove 15 can take any pattern, but a serpentine pattern which starts and ends close from edge to edge is preferred to provide adequate heat. In areas where more...
